Mon, 2013-08-05 01:25 -- VisionAndHope

WinDirStat is a great hard drive usage visualization tool that helps you identify and clean hard drive space issues. If you are running low on disk space or just want a cleaner system, this tool will provide a visual of what is hogging up your precious space.

With the high cost of high-capacity Solid State Drives (SSD), SSD users must keep a close eye on their limited drive space. WinDirStat will help keep your SSD under control.

WinDirStat will help you identify some of the typical culprits:

Program and internet temporary (temp) files

Cloud-based programs leaving huge local cache files

Bloatware and malware

Unnecessary programs that can be uninstalled

Duplicate files

Old files / photos / videos / PST files that can safely be moved to an external drive

Old System Restore files

Hibernation files (hint: disable Hibernation unless you must have this feature)
